Questionable Player Ratings

I really don’t and never have understood where or how they get their player ratings. I can tell you I think it stinks that Chris Paddack is gonna come out with a rating of 84 only playing one season with a 9-7 record. Yet they rated Corey Kluber, a 3 time All Star, multiple season winning records, and because he missed 2019 with an injury you rate him the same 84? Mind boggling! I guarantee if he would have been signed by the Dodgers, Red Sox, or Yankees San Diego Studios wouldn’t have hesitated to rate him close to or around 90.

It's based on the last 3 years, so Kluber's 208 games don't matter. And if was on one of those other teams he def would not be a 90, there aren't many pitchers at 90, not even guys like Kershaw are, so you are over exaggerating.
Also yes, injuries hampered his 2019 campaign, but you can't say "Eh, just ignore the stats there." It happened, it has to be counted. I bet he bounces back in 2020, don't take this as me hating Kluber, but in no way should he be a 90.

Also, you are judging Paddack based on wins and losses? 2004 called, they want their stats back.

The biggest thing that bothers me is that Mike Trout, who might go down as the greatest baseball player ever, mixes out at a 95. How much better does he need to be to get a 99? That’s his live series card, which is supposed to reflect how good he is currently.

It's on purpose, you can't sell a 99 immortal/SS/Finest Trout if the LS is at 99. It is what it is, won't change, so I tend to just not get hung up about it.

I know, but I just wish they would do away with those super-mega fantasy cards. I want live series cards to still be useful at the end of the year.

The “3 year thing” is stupid! But like the previous gentleman said, it is what it is and it’s not going away. I would also like to do away with the “god cards”. Live series and tons of single season FB cards is good enough!

I do agree, I hate the super cards.

SS is a joke. Statistically speaking Kerry Wood's best season was his rookie year. He had a HW card for that year. So where do they draw up his abilities for his SS card.
